A Urdish, the celestial poet
Urdish, or the celestial poet, as he is often referred to, is the second force emanated from life and, like the lady of love, a very popular deity among the romantics and the high levels of society. The priests of Urdish are dedicated to the progress and protection of art, aesthetic and creativity, their mission has also made them into educators and teachers, dedicated to culture and learning. In their role as teachers, they care little about their pupil's social or economic status, as long as he/she shows promise and desire for knowledge.
Their duties may make ignorants believe them to be weak fools, but they also understand that oppression and tyranny breeds ignorance, and they have also been known to take arms and inspire others into rising against all sorts of tyrants and evil rulers. Another of their sacred duties is to bring hope to the poor and joy to the suffering, in times of great need, urdish's followers flock together to support the needy.
Needless to say, the priests of Urdish are in very good terms with the priestesses of beauty and love and the priests of life and knowledge.
